Off to the Millarville Christmas Market

The Anita bag has two inside pockets and a large outside one.
 With a strong wind blowing over from the Rockies, my marketing partners and I opted to postpone setting up our tents until tomorrow morning for the annual Millarville Christmas Market.  A few years ago, many a vendor lost their tent in a windstorm the Thursday night
before the market doors even opened.
       So back home to put a few finishing touches on products.  I'll have two new versions of the Anita bag available:  One is a sturdy, green and deep pink bag and the other is made of a luscious brown and gold fabric (unfortunately, the photo doesn't do the latter justice -- though the model, Anita herself, is lovely!).   I also have some newer versions of the baby sleep sack.
      I feel very fortunate to be partnered with friends Pam and Jolene.  There has been much laughter in the preparation and I expect more in

our three days together.    Besides doing a lot of individual sewing, we've painted up some 260 plus wooden Christmas decorations.    And, thanks to the expertise of Jolene's mechanic husband, we'll stay warm in our outside tent -- as will, hopefully, our customers!

New sleep sack design

Thank you to Chelsea and Baby Capri for testing out the new baby sleep sack.  This was designed with the helpful feedback from Moms of babies.   Capri and Chelsea enjoyed this sack so much they're keeping it.  And now the new ones are under construction:  some deep pink like this one as well as green and blue.  All have applique designs on the front.  They are constructed with safe fleece fabric, a zipper that can open from the top or bottom (for diaper changes). 
      The new sleep sacks will be available at the Love and Comfort booth at Millarville Christmas Market Nov. 11-13th and then afterwards on my etsy shop and facebook page.
